The narrator interrupts reminiscences about his childhood spent in late-nineteenth-century France to recall the affair that a friend of his family carries on with young Odette de Crecy, in an authoritative translation of the great French masterpiece, accompanied by an introduction by Richard Howard. Reprint.

"'Swann's Way' is not a book to read on the train, skipping over the pages with one eye on the landscape; it is a book of true originality and profundity to the point of strangeness, claiming the reader's attention and even seizing it forcibly....A novel of analysis, yes; but I know of few novels in which the analysis penetrates so deep. At times you want to cry out, 'Enough!' as to a surgeon who spares no detail in describing an operation. Yet you never say it. You keep on turning the pages feverishly in order to see further into the souls of these characters."

Elie-Joseph Bois, Le Temps, 11/13/1913

"It is a picture of a society that is overcultured and neurotic, highly-strung and anemic, but interesting, human, amusing, civilized."

Burton Rascoe, New York Herald Tribune (1924-1966), 11/26/1922
